Pizza

PIZZA

“Momma Mia”
Name of a pizza parlor
No bowling alleys
No pool tables
Just pizza
“We don’t deliver”
Sign above the counter
These old white tables
Checkered table cloths cover the dents
Wobbly white chairs
Joe Biscarelli
Owner of Momma Mia
Joe don’t say much
Let’s pizza speak for itself
Maria Biscarelli
Joe’s wife
Momma Mia pizza is terrible
Joe don’t care
Maria don’t give a damn
Hey! You don’t like Momma Mia pizza?
You ever hear of the Don – Luigi Biscarelli?
Thatsa Joe’s brother
You don’t like the pizza?
Betta shutta you mouth!

The most delicious & authentic pies are found in these vintage parlors? Thank you for sharing a slice with us! Best to you and yours...Love, Mikki Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 8/9/2011 3:17:00 PM How did I miss this one, Daver? Gosh, it reminds me of the old-time pizza places in New York city. Like the way you used the Italian accent as well. I will try to avoid irritation Luigi Biscarelli at all cost!! Wish I could visit NY now to get one of these old pizzas. Great nostalgia mixed with humor, my friend. Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
